Article 1 - Lino Vizcaíno Sarría in Galería In La'kech

"Galería In La'kech hosted a 10 day show by Cuban artist, Lino Vizcaíno Sarría from June 28 to July 10, 2007. His work, pen and ink on paper, is accomplished with exquisite attention to detail and a substantial knowledge of the Yoruba culture's religious pantheon and iconography. These 15 midsized drawings comprise finely detailed archetypal images made more accessible to western culture by his drawing of parallels between African gods and saints and western astrological symbols. Themes include our connection to nature, to ancestral myths, and our ability to bridge the gap between the sacred and secular (natural) spaces by taping into powers such as those of spirits and saints, an approach which underlines the synchretic nature of his vision.
